A Berry Balanced Breakfast
My trick is take some marscapone and add a bit of brown sugar or maple syrup (being Canadian you can guess our choice) and putting that in the middle of crepes with tons of the fresh berries. I also cook some of the berries down to make a coulis for the crepes. Yum!!

the best way to eat berries is some heavy cream or buttermilk, a touch of sugar or honey and a spoon. doesn't get any better than that with a mug of coffee and some summer sun.

We've been making pre-gym smoothies with Greek yogurt, orange juice, and berries. Yum!!

oatmeal with fresh strawberries and brown sugar and a smidge of butter and a smidge of milk is a great motivator for a go-to-work morning.

This isn't so much of a healthy breakfast, as it is more of a mid-morning snack for me, but I have been using my strawberries to make strawberry mochi cake. Blueberry mochi cake works as well! You can view my recipe here: http://www.kirbiecravings.com/2009/05/strawberry-mochi-cake.html

1) I toss them in a fruit salad with bananas (and whatever other fruit I have on hand), and toss with some yogurt and agave, and a teaspoon of flax meal for a healthy fruit salad.
2) I do the same thing above, only over plain yogurt, and if I use bananas with the berries, I find I don't need sweeter.
3) Scatter berries over pancakes, waffles or French toast.
4) Cook the blueberries into pancake, muffins, etc.
5) Mini fruit tarts, using this simple tart shell method. (Since I don't have mini tart molds - for some crazy reason - I make then in a muffin pan, going up 1/3 of the height of the muffin molds.)
6) Make sorbet or ice cream (especially with the strawberries)
7) I am making a large batch of strawberry aqua fresca this afternoon.
8) Make smoothies. You can mix with yogurt, protein powder, ice cream, what ever. If I use a protein powder, my favorite combo is banana and strawberries, with pineapple juice and ice. Yum!
9) Add it to any cereal - hot or cold. I prefer them with cold cereal.
10) Cook or puree them into a sauce or coulis to top anything your heart desires.
11) The other night I just whipped up some shortcake biscuits in less than 15 minutes, and threw together some tasty berry shortcakes for three days straight with the sweet biscuits.
12. Make a crumble, cobbler or coffee cake.
Berries are one of the best brain foods around, so eat your berries! Enjoy!!

French toast!!! Good bakery bread, real maple syrup or a sprinkling of powdered sugar, and berries - whole or pureed into a sauce. Or stick with the Fage, add a splash of juice or milk, maybe another fruit (frozen bananas or peaches are my favorite) and make a smoothie.

I had Kashi Go Lean cereal with my first farmer's market strawberries this morning in an attempt to get my scale to cooperate.

fresh berries are the bomb mixed into Nancy's cultured cottage cheese [made with the same live cultures as yogurt]

holy coincidence, batman-i just ate raspberries, blueberries, and cherries for breakfast this morning! i love them plain, although on occasion i will add them to cheerios or yogurt. (not the cherries-those always stand alone)
A Berry Balanced Breakfast
I've been eating steel cut oats with a little squeeze of agave syrup with blackberries, strawberries, and almonds every morning. The other day I stirred in a spoonful of greek yogurt with honey and it was also good!
